Notis

Clear cancelled client meetings from your calendar

When a client meeting is confirmed cancelled, send Notis the event reference so it can remove the stale calendar entry.

Trigger

Webhook received

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

Action

Delete event

Deletes a specified event by `event id` from a google calendar (`calendar id`); this action is idempotent and raises a 404 error if the event is not found.

Why this helps

Cancelled meetings left on the calendar can waste attention and make a day look busier than it is.

  • Remove an outdated meeting after cancellation is confirmed.
  • Keep the calendar view aligned with current client plans.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Bonsai and Google Calendar once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis to create one from any channel.
  • 3Describe the outcome: delete the identified Google Calendar event when the request confirms the meeting is cancelled.
  • 4Pick the notis_webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real cancellation request for an event you intend to remove.

Questions about this workflow

What must the cancellation request include?

It must provide enough information to identify the calendar and event, such as their IDs. The delete action returns a not-found error if the event does not exist.

Can a tentative cancellation trigger deletion?

Use this only when the webhook request clearly confirms cancellation. A tentative reschedule or discussion should not be treated as a confirmed cancellation.
